Story
I only got on a bike again in early 2015 after about 21 years away from the saddle. Since then I've got more competent at not falling off with the odd incident as a result of the silly shoes to bring me back to earth. This will be by far the furthest I've ever ridden and will be a worthwhile challenge for me personally.
The cause is important, I've benefited from a good education and I understand the difference that this can make to your life.
- The Prince's Trust supports 13 to 30 year olds who are unemployed and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.
- Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.
- Many of the young people they help are in or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health problems, or have been in trouble with the law.
- Their programmes give young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilise their lives. Their help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.
